As someone who studies biomechanics, Toney’s ability to change direction and accelerate into AND through a cut is simply astounding to behold. We have had some amazing athletes come through this program and they each had their unique styles when it came to YAC and showcasing speed and athleticism. Devin Hester for example did not possess world class top end speed, but his leg turnover and acceleration was off the charts. He got from 0-60 in 3 steps and could also cut without slowing down and losing speed. Rosco Parrish was a juker/scat runner. This means that he excelled in contorting his body to jump IN AND OUT of cuts all while hitting the turbo to outrun opponents. Watching Toney it’s like he is playing basketball and sizing up opponents for the juke then crossover. Notice how he hesitates before making his move and accelerating into the juke then the direction he intended to go in the first place. This is amazing to watch on a basketball court- this is mentally insane to perform on a football field given the stark contrast of traction an athlete is able to utilize on the respective surfaces. This kid is special
